C. viscosa has leaves with long petioles 1.5-6 cm and glandular hairs. The leaf blade is three to five fingered, ovate to oblanceolate-elliptic, 2-6,5 cm long, 0.5-6 cm wide, green and hairy.

Yellow flowers with four crowns. The capsule is dehiscing only partially from apex to base, 30-100 mm long, 2-4 mm wide and glandular haired. Seeds are light brown, 1.2-1.8 × 1-1.2 mm and finely serrated transversely.
